Already inside the gate: the company is specified into someone else's next wave, and the wave has not yet shipped
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes company already chosen/specified/qualified/designed into another organization's future product/program/platform, wave not yet arrived, position large relative, preparing. Transcript: Aware, Inc. Q3 2022. They discuss AwareID launch, recurring revenue, customers delaying purchases. Craig mentions partners: integrated reseller Intercede integrated Aware tech into their offering, resells. Integrated partners example ERP provider to streamline connection. But is that "already chosen, specified, designed in"? Not specific secured position. They talk about customers in Latin America, financial institutions using Knomi. But no specific "we have been designed into another's next product" with wave ahead. They mention government customers received approved to operate status after extended pilot phases and in one case sizable delay. That could be: government customers approved to operate after pilots, so they are chosen? But is that a larger party's next program? They say "subsequent to close of quarter, we've seen a couple of government customers receive approved to operate status after extended pilot phases and in one case, a sizable delay." That suggests they have been approved/qualified for use, and now can operate. But is that a secured position inside someone else's next thing? Possibly government customers approved to operate means they can now use product, but not necessarily a wave. Also they mention customers signed 18 months ago moving to full launch, increasing spend. One long-standing customer almost doubled spend. But no specific "we are designed into a larger party's next product" with wave not yet arrived. Question asks: "On this call, does management describe that the company has ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, SPECIFIED, QUALIFIED, DESIGNED IN, OR OTHERWISE LOCKED INTO POSITION INSIDE ANOTHER ORGANIZATION'S FUTURE PRODUCT, PROGRAM, PLATFORM, BUILD-OUT, OR STANDARD OPERATING PLAN — such that when that outside party's own next wave of activity arrives, this company's volume arrives with it automatically — AND does management convey that this position is secured today while the wave itself has not yet shipped, launched, ramped, or begun at scale?" Need answer YES only if all three present. Let's examine transcript for any such description.

CUBI · Q3 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes a white-label partnership with T-Mobile where BankMobile provides services under T-Mobile's brand, with deposits expected to start in the next year after the launch. However, this does not meet the criteria for a secured position inside T-Mobile's next product or program. The language focuses on a partnership relationship that is still being launched, rather than a design win or qualification already embedded in T-Mobile's future offering. Management refers to it as an "expected white label partnership" and "working on" the launch, indicating it is not yet locked in as part of T-Mobile's committed plan.

However, this is framed as an announcement of a new agreement rather than a secured, locked-in position already designed 100% into the platform with volume guaranteed.
